politics

From 1970 to 1974, the CDU member Hedwig Wallis moved for her party as one of initially eleven female MPs in the 120-strong Hamburg citizenship. Six more politicians were later able to move up to the state parliament because, following a constitutional amendment, senators had to resign their mandate as members of parliament during their term of office. Hedwig Wallis commented: There are more women in all parties than they are allowed on the list. She cited the main reason for the low representation of women politicians in parliaments: the 'other group's' lack of understanding of democracy.
